Lead Systems Debug Engineer - Data Center GPU

Job Title

Lead Systems Debug Engineer - Data Center GPU

Role Summary

Lead technical efforts for bring-up, validation, and debug of datacenter GPU platforms. Drive platform readiness across hardware, firmware, software, networking, power, and SoC subsystems and coordinate cross-functional teams to close complex issues.

Primary focus is system-level root-cause analysis, development of validation and debug methodologies, documentation of bring-up processes, and mentoring engineers to ensure production and datacenter readiness.

Experience Level

Senior — minimum 8 years of experience in system-level or SoC debug, validation, and triage.

Responsibilities

Deliver technical leadership across system bring-up, validation, and debug for datacenter GPU platforms.

• Lead system bring-up, validation, and debug activities across HW/FW/SW and subsystem interfaces.
• Drive root-cause analysis and resolution of complex hardware, firmware, and software issues.
• Develop validation plans, debug methodologies, and technical documentation for bring-up and qualification.
• Perform hands-on board-level analysis including power, electrical, and system validation.
• Collaborate with architecture, software, firmware, and hardware teams to ensure platform readiness for production and datacenter deployment.
• Mentor and provide technical guidance to engineers; promote cross-functional collaboration and operational excellence.

Requirements

Must-have technical skills and experience required to perform the role.

• Proven experience debugging complex hardware and firmware integration issues at the system or SoC level.
• Strong understanding of GPU platform components: PCIe, HBM, retimers, power delivery, networking, and SoC subsystems.
• Hands-on experience with board-level diagnostics and industry-standard debug tools and oscilloscopes.
• Ability to drive issues to closure in lab, manufacturing, customer, or datacenter environments.
• Proficiency in C/C++ and scripting (Shell, Perl, Python) for automation and test development.
• Strong communication and customer-facing skills; experience working across multiple engineering disciplines.
• Location: must be able to work in Austin, TX; this role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Education Requirements

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field. Minimum of 8 years of experience in system-level or SoC debug, validation, and triage.
